Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile device user interfaces for one-handed use are not tailored to individual user biometrics and device dimensions, leading to frustration and reduced functionality.
Innovation Solution
A customizable user interface system that adjusts dimensions and layout based on user biometric data, interaction history, and crowdsource information to optimize one-handed use.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the user interface is reduced to a predetermined size for one-handed use, then accessibility for one-handed operation is improved, but the interface does not account for individual user biometrics and device dimensions leading to user frustration
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically changes interface parameters (size, position, layout) based on detected user biometrics such as hand size and finger length. The interface customization parameter is calculated based on biometric data to optimize the interface for each user's specific physiology, resolving the contradiction between standardized one-handed access and individualized adaptation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically detects user biometrics and configures the interface without requiring manual input from the user. The device serves itself by using its own sensors to gather biometric data and autonomously adjusting the interface parameters, eliminating the need for users to manually customize settings while still providing personalized experiences.
2Ease of operation
If the user interface is shifted downward to improve one-handed access, then upper portion accessibility is improved, but the interface remains a static shifted version without modifications to interface elements
Solution Approach 1:
Different portions of the interface are customized with different properties based on user biometrics. The system modifies specific interface elements (buttons, direction pad, etc.) individually rather than uniformly shifting the entire interface, allowing each element to be optimally positioned and sized for one-handed operation while maintaining appropriate complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The interface transitions from a static shifted version to a dynamic customized version that adapts to the user. The system calculates interface customization parameters based on biometric data and usage information, then dynamically reconfigures the interface elements to provide optimal accessibility while managing complexity through intelligent automation.
3Ease of operation
If a standardized one-handed interface mode is implemented, then ease of activation is improved, but the interface fails to account for crowdsource information and usage patterns
Solution Approach 1:
The system incorporates feedback loops that collect usage information from the user and crowdsource data from other users. This feedback is processed to calculate interface customization parameters that reflect actual usage patterns and preferences, ensuring the interface evolves to better serve users while maintaining easy activation through automatic detection and adaptation.

AI summary
Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments for intelligently customizing a user interface on a remote control. In a non-limiting embodiment, a method operates by receiving a user input associated with customizing the user interface for one-hand use when the user interface is in a first configuration. The user interface may a user interface element and the first configuration includes a first dimension of the user interface. In an embodiment, the user input is a touch-based gesture received on a touchscreen of the remote control. A user may be identified responsive to receiving the user input and the user interface may be customized from the first configuration to a second configuration based on an interface customization parameter. In an embodiment, the customizing includes reducing the first dimension of the user interface to a second dimension to allow for one-hand use by the user.
